Grumpy Sirius

Author notes: In which Remus has to do a lot of emotional labour.

CW: mention of suicide

The boys get curious 👀

Confrontation…

Reminder to follow my instagram (@atyd_audiobook) for updates! If I ever disappear for some time, you’ll know why :)

TW - Remus has some quite dark, negative thoughts in this chapter that could be triggering. If you’re sensitive to suicidal ideation, I recommend skipping 8:27-9:05.

This chapter was the beginning of my love for David Bowie

Songs and lyrics:

Five Years

“Pushing through the market square

So many mothers sighing

News had just come over

We had five years left of crying…”

Rock n Roll Suicide

Suffragette City

“This mellow thigh'd chick's just put my spine outta place...”

Moonage Daydream

Lady Stardust

“his long black hair, his animal grace; the boy in the bright blue jeans…”

Back to school and brother betrayal 💔😔

Song is Metal Guru by T. Rex

(lyrics)

“Metal Guru, could it be?

You’re gonna bring my baby to me

She’ll be wild, y’know a rock n roll child…”

Letters and an illiterate Remus

First year ends with mischief and a bittersweet feeling

Author notes: Homophobic slur towards the end of this chapter.

Your honor, in my clients’ defense, they’re Gay

Warning: mention of child abuse

In which I embarrass myself by singing happy birthday

The song that plays is Cosmic Dancer by T. Rex!

Author notes: Happy birthday, Remus! Cake and cartography :P
